In 510 patients with type 2 diabetes and minor ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack, adding liraglutide to standard therapy versus standard therapy alone had a treatment-by-insulin-resistance interaction for stroke recurrence (P for interaction=0.02).
In plain wordsIn people with type 2 diabetes after stroke/TIA, liraglutide-versus-standard-therapy stroke results differed by insulin resistance.
